It seems whacko conspiracy theories aren’t confined to the populist right.
Is it your contention that Mossad does not employ assassination as a frequently used tool to achieve its objectives?
JFK wanted AIPAC registered under FARA. He also wanted to prevent Israel from acquiring nuclear weapons, and warned Israel that American support was not guaranteed to continue if Israel pursued atomic weapons.
After he was assassinated, the USS liberty was attacked and Israel stole the nuclear technology that allowed them to build their bombs.
Oh, and 70 years later, AIPAC still owns the American government.
1. Why was Kennedy killed?
2. Who benefits?
3. Who has the power to cover it up?
Who benefits more from Kennedy’s death (and Kirk’s, tbh) than Israel?
Who has the power to cover it up more than the country that owns the US?
It's fitting that a thread dedicated to a piece of garbage human further devolves into nutjob conspiracy babble. Let this #### thread sink along with the memory of the professional racist.
The right don't want you to ask questions, they expect you to just accept whatever nonsense they put out there and no matter how much it doesn't add up there is nothing to see here. That's been Trump's MO since he took office. Notice the right wing posters on here like to make fun of questioning things that don't add up? You never question the orange pedo King!
I'm not buying into any second shooter conspiracy theories, mainly because my knowledge of ballistics and physics isn't in that league. I tend to fall back on Occam's Razor.
But.... When I saw the first news story come up on my phone minutes after the shooting, it was reported that the bullet entered the back of neck/head and exited through the left part of the neck. Almost immediately the story changed to just being shot in the neck with no exit wound. Then not too long after, someone from Kirk's team tried to play it as divine intervention and a miracle that there was no exit wound and that Charlie's last act on Earth was acting like a human shield preventing people behind him from getting hit with the bullet. It was kind of weird and it certainly does look like there was an entry and exit on the original video. There were also people on Twitter right away pointing out that the videos uploaded later looked slightly different than the ones uploaded hours earlier that seem to have been taken down.
Again, I am not saying that I buy any conspiracy theories about this, but if I were to entertain any, it would be that it was an inside job to create a martyr and work Christian nationalists into a frenzy by trying to demonstrate a miracle occurred.

I do a fair amount of hunting, and nothing about the shot, or the supposed lack of an exit wound are in any way abnormal.
A lot of people have already spoken about it, but hitting a stationary target at 200 yds is not a particularly difficult shot. Any decent hunter could/should be able to do that.
As for a lack of an exit wound, that is not suprising.
Most ammunition used for say deer hunting (exactly what you would use in a .30-06) is designed to expand or fragment when it hits a target. That's to ensure maximum damage, and energy delivered to the target. If you hit any kind of bone, it's pretty likely the bullet fragments and there is no exit wound.
The VAST majority of deer I have shot, have not had an exit wound.
This guy wasn't using some military round meant to penetrate body armor.
In fact, I'm pretty sure the kind of ammunition the army would use (full metal jacket) is illegal in most places for hunting, and the kind of ammo a deer hunter would use is a war crime.
Pretty much everything that has been said about this murder tracks exactly with a guy who has some experience deer hunting using what he had on hand.

This isn’t deer hunter the video game, a 30 cal bullet goes straight thru a full grown deers neck and has an exit wound the size close to a tennis ball, I once shot a 30.06 thru a 3 inch phone book and it still went thru a fence. A human neck would never stop a round that size.
This might be cynical but I am starting to wonder if Erika was more excited about the assassination than all of the liberal ####s who were attacked for impugning his legacy of Charlies good works.
Now she gets to make millions grifting of public gullibility, without needing to stand at the back of the stage and pump out a baby every 2 years for the next two decades, while pretending she enjoys the process of making babies with him.
For those who will be offended, not saying it's true, just asking questions. Because as the last two decades of right wing politics have taught us, and attack doesn't really need to be true, as long as it is a question and not a statement.

Jennifer Welch, one half of the progressive podcast duo behind “I’ve Had It,” ripped into Erika Kirk, calling her a “grifter” and calling the late Charlie Kirk “racist and a homophobe.”
“This woman should be kicked to the curb,” Welch said about Erika Kirk in a video uploaded Sunday to the “I’ve Had It” YouTube page. “She is an absolute grifter. Just like Donald Trump and just like her unrepentant racist homophobic husband was.”
“You are an opportunistic grifter who weaponizes your gender to demean women, and you are a walking, talking, breathing example as to why nobody, number one, wants to be a Christian, and number two, wants to be a female hypocrite such as yourself,” Welch said.
